Installing Slony Replication on a Debian or Ubuntu Host v2.2.10

You must install EDB Postgres Advanced Server before installing Slony Replication. For details about installing and configuring EDB Postgres Advanced Server, see the EDB Postgres Advanced Server Installation Guide available at the EDB website. To install Slony Replication on a Debian or Ubuntu host, you must have credentials to access the EnterpriseDB repository. If you need EnterpriseDB credentials, visit the EDB website.

The following steps will walk you through using the EnterpriseDB repository to install a DEB package. When using the commands, replace the username and password with the credentials provided by EnterpriseDB.

1. Assume superuser privileges:

   Toggle WrapCopy

   sudo su –

2. Configure the EnterpriseDB repository:

   On Debian 9, Ubuntu 18 and Ubuntu 20:

   Toggle WrapCopy

   sh -c 'echo "deb https://username:password@apt.enterprisedb.com/$(lsb_release -cs)-edb/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/edb-$(lsb_release -cs).list'

   On Debian 10:

   a. Set up the EnterpriseDB repository:

   Toggle WrapCopy

   sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt.enterprisedb.com/$(lsb_release -cs)-edb/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/edb-$(lsb_release -cs).list'

   b. Substitute your EnterpriseDB credentials for the username and password placeholders in the following command:

   Toggle WrapCopy

   sh -c 'echo "machine apt.enterprisedb.com login <username> password <password>" > /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/edb.conf'

3. Add support to your system for secure APT repositories:

   apt-get update

6. Install the Debian package:
